rom._n 4.11_o he_o gather_v thence_o that_o circumcision_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o righteousness_n therefore_o we_o see_v that_o steeven_n frame_v no_o vain_a and_o idle_a narration_n because_o this_o be_v very_o much_o appertinent_a unto_o the_o cause_n that_o the_o jew_n may_v remember_v how_o god_n have_v adopt_v they_o with_o their_o father_n &_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o steven_n do_v plain_o express_v both_o thing_n that_o although_o circumcision_n be_v give_v by_o god_n that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o grace_n yet_o be_v the_o adoption_n before_o it_o both_o in_o order_n &_o in_o time_n but_o we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o dispute_v any_o long_o in_o this_o place_n concern_v the_o nature_n and_o force_n of_o circumcision_n only_o let_v we_o note_v this_o that_o god_n do_v first_o promise_v those_o thing_n to_o abraham_n which_o he_o confirm_v afterward_o by_o circumcision_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o the_o sign_n be_v vain_a &_o nothing_o worth_a unless_o the_o word_n go_v before_o let_v we_o also_o note_v that_o there_o be_v a_o profitable_a doctrine_n contain_v in_o the_o word_n covenant_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n make_v his_o covenant_n with_o we_o in_o the_o sacrament_n that_o he_o may_v declare_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o which_o thing_n if_o it_o be_v true_a first_o they_o be_v not_o only_a work_n of_o external_a profession_n among_o man_n but_o they_o give_v great_a force_n inward_o before_o god_n to_o confirm_v the_o faith_n second_o they_o be_v no_o vain_a figure_n because_o god_n who_o be_v true_a figure_v nothing_o there_o which_o he_o do_v not_o perform_v 9_o and_o the_o patriarch_n move_v with_o envy_n sell_v joseph_n into_o egypt_n notwithstanding_o god_n be_v with_o he_o 10_o and_o he_o deliver_v he_o out_o of_o all_o his_o affliction_n &_o he_o give_v he_o favour_n &_o wisdom_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o pharaoh_n king_n of_o egypt_n who_o make_v he_o ruler_n over_o egypt_n &_o over_o all_o his_o house_n 11_o and_o there_o come_v a_o famine_n upon_o all_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n &_o chanaan_n and_o great_a affliction_n neither_o do_v our_o father_n find_v food_n 12_o and_o when_o jacob_n have_v hard_a that_o there_o be_v corn_n in_o egypt_n he_o send_v our_o father_n thither_o first_o 13_o and_o at_o the_o second_o come_v joseph_n be_v know_v of_o his_o brethren_n and_o the_o kindred_n of_o joseph_n be_v make_v know_v to_o pharaoh_n 14_o then_o joseph_n send_v &_o call_v out_o his_o father_n jacob_n &_o all_o his_o kindred_n lxxv_o soul_n 15_o and_o jacob_n go_v down_o into_o egypt_n and_o he_o die_v and_o our_o father_n 16_o and_o they_o be_v carry_v into_o sichem_n &_o they_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o sepulchre_n which_o abraham_n have_v buy_v for_o money_n of_o the_o son_n hemor_n the_o son_n of_o sichem_n 9_o now_o follow_v the_o great_a wickedness_n of_o the_o nation_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o conspire_v together_o to_o oppress_v their_o innocent_a brother_n which_o cruelty_n be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n neither_o can_v the_o jews_n object_n that_o it_o be_v a_o private_a fault_n of_o a_o few_o for_o the_o infamy_n reach_v unto_o all_o the_o people_n for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o the_o patriarch_n benjamin_n except_v have_v pollute_v themselves_o with_o that_o treachery_n therefore_o in_o that_o steeven_n vouchsafe_v to_o give_v they_o a_o honourable_a name_n that_o redound_v to_o the_o great_a reproach_n of_o the_o nation_n they_o boast_v proud_o of_o their_o father_n he_o show_v what_o manner_n person_n the_o chief_a of_o they_o be_v to_o wit_n murderer_n of_o their_o brother_n so_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lay_v for_o beside_o that_o slavery_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o death_n we_o know_v what_o they_o go_v about_o at_o the_o first_o &_o second_o what_o cruel_a punishment_n joseph_n suffer_v of_o all_o which_o his_o brethren_n be_v guilty_a hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o god_n be_v bountiful_a and_o merciful_a to_o those_o which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v unwilling_a &_o which_o do_v resist_v he_o for_o he_o who_o be_v about_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o health_n &_o help_n will_v they_o have_v destroy_v wherefore_o they_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o renounce_v all_o the_o benefit_n of_o god_n so_o he_o will_v declare_v afterward_o that_o moses_n be_v reject_v when_o he_o be_v offer_v of_o god_n to_o be_v a_o redeemer_n therefore_o the_o jew_n have_v small_a cause_n to_o brag_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o their_o kindred_n but_o this_o alone_a remain_v for_o they_o that_o be_v ashamed_a they_o confess_v that_o whosoever_o they_o be_v they_o have_v the_o same_o through_o the_o mere_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o that_o they_o consider_v that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v to_o set_v forth_o the_o same_o god_n be_v with_o he_o god_n be_v not_o so_o with_o he_o that_o he_o do_v always_o show_v forth_o his_o power_n in_o help_v he_o for_o that_o be_v no_o small_a thing_n which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o the_o iron_n go_v through_o his_o soul_n sure_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o be_v in_o great_a heaviness_n 105.18_o psal_n 105.18_o when_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o help_n he_o suffer_v reproach_n also_o together_o with_o band_n &_o the_o punishment_n of_o a_o ungodly_a and_o wicked_a man_n but_o god_n use_v oftentimes_o to_o be_v present_a with_o he_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o lie_v hide_v for_o a_o time_n and_o the_o end_n be_v a_o evident_a token_n of_o his_o presence_n which_o joseph_n see_v not_o at_o the_o first_o furthermore_o we_o ought_v to_o remember_v this_o ever_o now_o &_o then_o that_o joseph_n be_v not_o deliver_v because_o he_o have_v call_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o temple_n but_o a_o far_o of_o in_o egypt_n 10_o steeven_n add_v the_o mean_n because_o god_n give_v he_o favour_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o pharaoh_n god_n can_v have_v deliver_v he_o by_o some_o other_o mean_n but_o his_o counsel_n have_v respect_n unto_o a_o far_a thing_n that_o joseph_n be_v ruler_n of_o the_o kingdom_n may_v entertain_v his_o father_n &_o all_o his_o family_n in_o these_o two_o word_n favour_n &_o wisdom_n there_o be_v the_o figure_n hipallage_n for_o the_o wisdom_n wherewith_o joseph_n be_v endue_v be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o find_v favour_n although_o i_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v two_o distinct_a benefit_n for_o though_o joseph_n be_v a_o faithful_a interpreter_n of_o dream_n and_o do_v excel_v in_o divine_a wisdom_n yet_o the_o proud_a tyrant_n will_v never_o have_v bring_v he_o to_o so_o great_a honour_n unless_o god_n have_v bend_v the_o mind_n of_o pharaoh_n unto_o a_o certain_a unwonted_a love_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o order_n whereby_o god_n use_v to_o bring_v he_o into_o favour_n wisdom_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v the_o gift_n of_o pprophecy_n in_o interpret_n dream_n but_o prudence_n in_o give_v counsel_n for_o moses_n put_v in_o both_o that_o which_o steeven_n report_v of_o one_o man_n in_o this_o place_n be_v extend_v unto_o all_o for_o what_o aptness_n and_o readiness_n soever_o be_v in_o man_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o that_o his_o special_a gift_n and_o it_o be_v he_o that_o give_v good_a success_n as_o it_o please_v he_o that_o his_o gift_n may_v be_v profitable_a to_o that_o end_n for_o which_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o he_o to_o give_v they_o therefore_o although_o joseph_n be_v make_v chief_a ruler_n of_o egypt_n by_o pharaoh_n yet_o be_v he_o lift_v up_o to_o so_o great_a honour_n proper_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n 11_o there_o come_v a_o famine_n hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o deliverance_n of_o joseph_n be_v such_o a_o benefit_n as_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o family_n of_o jacob_n for_o see_v the_o famine_n draw_v on_o joseph_n be_v send_v before_o in_o due_a time_n to_o provide_v sustenance_n to_o feed_v the_o hungry_a as_o he_o himself_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o wonderful_a counsel_n of_o god_n in_o that_o point_n nevertheless_o the_o free_a goodness_n of_o god_n appear_v plain_o in_o the_o person_n of_o joseph_n while_o that_o he_o be_v appoint_v to_o nourish_v and_o feed_v his_o brethren_n who_o have_v sell_v he_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v send_v he_o far_o away_o and_o think_v that_o he_o be_v go_v away_o quite_o out_o of_o the_o world_n he_o put_v meat_n in_o their_o mouth_n who_o have_v throw_v he_o into_o a_o pit_n and_o have_v deprive_v he_o of_o the_o air_n and_o the_o common_a breath_n final_o he_o nourish_v &_o preserve_v their_o life_n who_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o take_v from_o he_o his_o life_n in_o the_o mean_a season_n steeven_n put_v the_o jew_n in_o mind_n of_o this_o that_o the_o patriarch_n be_v enforce_v to_o depart_v out_o of_o that_o land_n which_o be_v give_v
